2062 Destruction 1
"Fire!" More than 200 British tanks launched an attack with the Germans without hesitation. At a distance of less than 1,000 meters between them, the shells of both sides were flying in the air. This time, the British took out their best self-propelled guns, equipped with long-barrel 18-pound cannons and 4-inch cannons, mk5 and mk7, especially the latter, which has the ability to destroy wolf tanks at a longer distance. Of course, like the French Saint Veil, its own defense is garbage.
The British launched their own attack formation just like modern queuing and shooting, and they also pushed the front line flatly. At the same time, a large number of anti-tank guns were deployed on both sides to protect the flanks. This is not that the British do not want to play tactics, but that the British tanks are generally poor in mobility, and the two tanks, mk5 and mk7, cannot defend themselves. It is possible to be a sniper in the back row when attacking, but if you want to be an attack spearhead, it is better to forget it.
But in contrast, the Germans' offense was much sharper, and they were also the basic tactic of flat pushing the front line, but the cooperation between the armored battalions and companies was obviously better!
"The Germans' offense is very layered, even if it is flat pushing in the front line. Each of their armored companies is arranged staggeredly, like gears. The troops at the forefront seem to have exposed their wings, but in fact, the distance between the opponent's companies is very good. When you try to detour, it is equivalent to exposing the sides to the opponent. If you attack at a small angle, the sides of the wolf tank are more difficult to penetrate than the front! And their attacks are staggered, and you don't know whether your enemy will suddenly punch or fist!"
"Of course, the most troublesome thing is that in addition to tanks and assault guns, the Germans also had a large number of armored vehicles. These high-motor vehicles were like light cavalry. As long as there was a problem at the front, they would quickly insert them and then mess up the rear or flanks of our army. Our armored forces lacked flexibility and tactical response was too rigid." A British officer commented on the German armored tactics in this way.
Even in the face of the full-scale attack by the British, the Germans did not invest all the armored forces on the front line. In fact, when the two sides met on the front line, there were about 75 German tanks and assault guns against about 150 British tanks. However, relying on their equipment performance advantages and good tactics, the British suffered heavy losses when facing the first round of attacks.
A type mk2 tank that was moving at high speed was directly hit by a 75mm armor-piercing bomb. The Liujie armor, which was only 30mm thick on the front, was cut by a sharp warhead, as convenient as cutting cream with a hot knife. Then, the powerful armor-piercing bomb directly shot and killed the personnel in the rear and destroyed the engine at the rear. The unlucky chariot finally stopped with a rolling smoke.
The other tank was even worse. He was targeted by the 107mm heavy cannon of the rhino self-propelled artillery. After two rounds of shooting with a machine gun, a 15kg armor-piercing projectile easily reached the part state. The British were also constantly attacking. Their mk7 tank tried to use the powerful 4-inch heavy cannon to kill the wolf-type tanks that were protruding forward, but the Germans reacted very quickly. When the powerful shells fell, the smoke bomb launchers on both sides of the tank turret released one smoke bomb, forming a temporary smoke wall on the front of the tank. Then, the tank next to it would move along the smoke wall and temporarily avoid the sharpest spear of the British.
As the distance gets closer, the most intense and dangerous close combat between the two sides begins. You can even understand it as a tank version of hand-to-hand combat. With the distance of no more than 500 meters and the nearest possible number of 2 digits, both sides are attacking each other wildly. At this time, the significance of armor is no longer great, and even a wolf-type tank with good defense is difficult to escape. At this time, the God of War is more inclined to the side with more people and more guns.
Thousands of noises continued to come from the battlefield. With violent explosions and flames rising from the air, tanks were destroyed. The surviving tank hands jumped out of the burning tanks. Before they stood firm, they picked up the submachine guns, grenades and even daggers in their hands to fight the surviving opponents, just like the medieval times hundreds of years ago.
However, even so, the German tank group still maintained the most basic formation and cooperation. The tanks of the same company were as close as possible, and used armor and artillery to cover their comrades. They also used radio to maintain the most basic communication between the companies. However, although the British attacked fiercely, they soon lost formation and unified command after entering the chaos. After a chaotic battle, the British armored troops, which had suffered heavy losses, naturally exposed several gaps! At this time, Major General Mike invested his own reserve team and armored vehicle troops, and passed through the gap between the British!
The Germans had planned for a long time naturally could not launch the offensive just at one point. Just as the three British defenders and a German armored division were entangled, more German rapid divisions crossed the French defense line. They bypassed the British defenders and launched an attack on the British main force from the side with lightning speed! On the back of the Hamilton Army, an offensive corps composed of four rapid divisions and two independent armored brigades quickly unfolded and rushed over with the force of Mount Tai!
"Mr. Commander, there are a large number of German troops appearing to the north of our country, whose defenses have crossed the French and beyond our guards." A British officer reported to Lord Hamilton.
"How is that possible?" Lord Hamilton was shocked. How long has it been since they handed over positions with the French? Calculate the time when the troops were on their way, it can almost be understood as the Germans began to chase after the British as soon as they left. Is their defense line useless? Although it cannot be compared with the trench system that has been built for several years, there are still minefields, barbed wire and basic support points that should be available. When did the French fighter's combat effectiveness be so poor?
"Appoint the flank forces to immediately prepare for resistance, and the main forces also stopped advancing and prepared for war. Also, send a message to Marshal Foch, asking them why the front line collapsed so quickly, and asking the French army to provide reinforcements to us." Lord Hamilton said.
However, it was too late. Just as Hamilton was about to adjust his troops to fight, the German rapid troops of four divisions had already launched an attack. They stabbed into the middle of the French army like a sharp spear, trying to cut off the French army in half! And while the army launched an attack, the first wave of up to 300 bombers had already roared towards the British army's marching formation!
